“…this horror was bounding like a tiger at his heels, with blazing eyes and one stringy arm out thrown.” ACT 1: In Charles Dickens’ classic ghost story, ‘The Signalman’, we follow a railway signalman who keeps watch over a damp, and gloomy railway cutting. Upon questioning, he reveals that he has been haunted by spectral warnings of impending train disasters. ACT 2: In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘Lot No. 249’, we follow Abercrombie Smith, a student who investigates a series of supernatural occurrences linked to his neighbour, Edward Bellingham. Edward, an Oxford student, holds possession of an ancient Egyptian mummy which he appears to have been using to stalk his enemies. This is a candlelit performance taking place in Hanbury Hall and will begin at 7pm. In this one-man performance, Toby Burchell performs two chilling tales by the finest writers of the ghost story genre. Originally narrated as entertainments for friends, these are the perfect traditional ghost stories

Photography Exhibition: The Landscape and Nature of the British Isles

back to Upcoming events at Hanbury Hall Skip to content Photography Exhibition: The Landscape and Nature of the British Isles Explore a photography exhibition by Trevor Hunter in the Long Gallery. Free event (admission applies) This exhibition presents a beautiful array of photographs capturing the British Isles at their finest.

Closer to home, Worcestershire is no less inspiring. Its rolling fields, woodlands, and hedgerows offer endless opportunities to observe and capture the natural world. Many birds of prey also feature in the exhibition, their elegance and strength showcased throughout. Whether it’s the silent flight of a barn owl or a kestrel suspended mid-air, they highlight the beauty of wildlife across the UK.
